Americais calculated, we should i mag ine, to put even the most infatuated sticklers for the univtrsal application of the Non-Interven tion principle, or policy, slightly out of conceit with their exceedingly sake, but sometimes a l so ( we can quite imagine the contingency) exceedingly paean panacce. Forty thousand Federate —accord ing to their own account—put hors-de combat, that is, 40,000 killed and wounded by reason of the last hideous few hears fighting ! Forty '..housand Federals. The Federals being the assailants. But how many Confederates have been maimed and killed we have yet to learn. Probably a correspondingly frightful aggregate of brave men destroyed and annihilat e d. S o t h a t i s two or three days the chief part of a round 100,000 American citizens have been swept off either sud denly to the grave or agonized to the military lespitals and ambulances. And here again without anything at all decisive as a grim compensation for this wasteful destruction of human life. The Peck rale,it is true, have advanced at the end of their three days' fighting. But in their advance they approach the ably withdrawn forces of LEE in a stronger position than ever. In a position so strong that it is reputed to be ell bat impregnable. Insomuch that it is absolutely being likened, we observe, to the renowned position taken up by WELLINGTON in the Penine.ule, behind the lines of Torres Vedras. 'Th e object is, of course, t o get at the Southern capital, the capital of Richmond. And, in aiming at this, they are so tar adTalcing towards their aim, those Northerners I But, it naustbe confessed, their successes hitherto, in this advance, are most ,curiously and strangely questionable. They fight, Instance, o 3 the and 10. h initatits, tht uadtr Geht r .1s HANCOCK, WARREN, and 6ErGwicK assailing their Southern foe under Ge tera:s Ent, EWELL, and LONGSTREI T.

Oa the Southern Fide we know not yei ::ow much has been their total of killed and wounded —knowing, in fact, at the present, for instance, but of one man out of their whole army bring wounder.i, that one man however being about the noblest soldier - of them all ander LLE, namely, LEE . S VeritailAe 41,. gifted LONGSTREET. There is unhappily but little room left for hope that the reported deaths of the two Federal Generals, that is WARREN and SEDGEWICK, may be found to have been wrongly so reported as killed. But to the last we shall continue to hope that the wounding of LONGSTREET may prove to have been nothing serious. His loss, in effect, would, for the cause of the South, be second only to the yet lamented loss of the famous "STONEWALL" JACKSON. The new position taken up by LEE since his retreat— that retreat of the Confederates being in truth, strictly a strategic movement—the Federal assail• ants having been repulsed at all points on the Bth, the 9th, and the 10 Ii instant—is unders'ood to be fortheL south than Spottsyl vannia, on the road to Richmond. The upshot of it i all being that in traversing merely 20 miles on their way towards the Southern capital,the northern army has lost two Generals as well as 40,000 men in killed and wounded. With only too fearful reason, it must be said that the sensation headers of the deadly news from the Seat of War, in the New York newspapers, included among them in flaming capitals, AWFUL FIGHTING IN VIRGINIA. The fighting being doubly awful. thus in truth—first, because the war is a civil war; and, secondly, because the fighting, even thus frightfully, has led to no decisive result. Herr VON BISMARK seems determined to let there be no mistake regarding his notions on the chief topics of the important concerns now occu pying the Conference. It would appear as if the Prussians had resolved to try how much they could do to outrage public opinion and to exhibit their utter indifference to the restraints which compacts and obligations impose. The London Treaty is now, it is alleged, to be looked upon as nil, and the astute and active brain of the Berlin Minister is employed in twisting phrases and distorting facts until he makes out a very specious show, and de- r, monstrates how right end proper it is to ignore the terms of the treaty altogether. It is true that many persons of experience were sage enough to prophecy that this would b 3 the next move; but notwithstanding it is most likely that the authentic announcement of the determination will astonish and annoy many. There are always some infatuated individuals who will persuade themselves that things will go right in the end, and however per verse the authorities may be at present, that they will shortly hear reason. These sanguine expec tations have not assuredly been fulfilled in the smallest degree since the coaamerc:ment of the late war, and far from any hope of seeing its fulfilment we may rather say that our fears have been more than realised. This last move of Herr 'VON BIS MARK'S is to do away with the least chance of the Conference interfering with his cherished plans, and to destroy the only hope that remains of a satisfactory adjustment being arrived at. It is all very fine for him to go back so far, and try to make oat a case for himself, bat it does not need a very sharp-sighted politician to detect the inconsistence of his arguments. If the Danish Government had gone too far in its attempts to frame the constitu tion of Schleswig, was that a reason why such in. tolerable conduct should be exhibited by the Prus sians in particular, and the allied armies in general. The whole of the despatch is a contradiction in terms, and explains very accurately the disin genuous form adopted by the Prussians when ex plaining a difficult question of their foreign policy. All through the retrospective glance we meet with a series of encroachments on the part of the Danes, and of wise forbearance and finally slow resort to arms for the restitution at their rights. A stranger who studiod BISMARK'S letter attentively would never have imagined that the i,..sues of the contest thus begun had attracted the earnest attention of all Europe, and that alt sympathy was on the side of the people so denounced and stigmatised by the official narrator of events in this epistle. It must be borne in mind that this is all written for a purpose, and that in some respects it is almost useless to discuss it too particularly and to analyse its bearings too closely, for it is the ex pression of opinion on the part of those who have made up their minds beforehand what to do, and afterwards invent a plausible reason for their ma eceivres. It makes very little difference to the Prussians whether the terms of the London Treaty are complied, with or not, bat it is a very conve nient excuse for violence and oppression to assert that the Danes have violated the solemn engage ments entered into, and that the honour and in terests of Prussia alike call for their fulfilment, or for some new proposal being entered upon. In his statement about the Danes not fulfilling their con tract, Herr von BISMARK seems totally to forget that he is insulting the Powers that were parties to the Treaty of 1852, and that he is virtually telling them to let him alone, for they cannot or else dare cot interfere with him to prevent the execution of his design. After perusing the communication of the Prussian Minister to the Ambassador in Lon don we may well ask what is the use of having agreed to a Conference at all if the ground is to be cut away from under the feet of those who delibe rate. The members of the conclave meet to impress the necessity or urge the advisability of Prussia adhering to some fixed regulations, and maintain ing her engagements with Denmark, and also with the other countries that were parties to the Treaty. Instead of agreeing readily the Cabinet of Berlin have, from the outset of the deliberations, inter posed as many obstacles as they can to the fulfilment of the purp ose of the meeting. First there was a serLs of delays before beginning the deliberations; then upon one protest or another a perpetual put ting off when the business had actually commenced. Now we meet with a more serious check than any previously encountered in this abjuration by Herr BISMARK, of the vital principles of the rights of nations—a more arrogant piece of assumption than this declaration has seldom been perused. First of all there is a recapitulation of the assertions of the Government of King WILLIAM, and then from these it is deduced that the Prussians have a right to act upon the threats and menaces which have been so plentifuly hurled against the Dines. This is strange reasoning, and indicates a total want of respect for the opinion of others, and a complete disregard for the observance of solemn obligations that alternately amezTs and exasperates one. We are fallen upon evil days indeed if the spirit of Elgland is to submit to this ind;gnity, and thv intelligence of her people to atop to such a level as that to which M. BIS3IARK seeks to degrade us. If it is to go forth to the world that NVO arc unablL lr unwilling to protect cur allies frcm the rupture of traatica to w hich we were parties, and to intcrposk in aff:kire any ch ee k t o t h e attemp t s of invad3rs against their privilege,we had better not rnix up .O at all, If it amounts to this that we mast not vin dicate cur rights or avenge the wrongs of others , if we era p ower l ess to support our integrity acd assist their independence, it stands to reason that it will very soon cease to concern the aggreseivC States, whether England approves of their conduct or not, and that all she does is to send despatches that give encouragement, an d t h en to disavow them by still when no heed i s pa i d to our warn standing Mach hf.s hc;:n said and written regarding ;Aar mism‘inagentent of the Danish Tustin, but no - - -L THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, MAY 23, 1864. proof of our dereliction from duty as the writer of this communication. In every line of it we learn the certainty of the aggression of Prussia, and also the confirmation of the reticence of England. The claims of the literary profession upon public sympathy and assistance when age, infirmity, or misfortune steps in to paralyse the hand of the worker for his fellow-men, have long been gene rally acknowledged. The official provision made by our wealthy country is, it is true, of very slender amount, and small as the sum so set aside is origi nally, it is still further diminished by being e quently partially diverted from its purpose. Many not corning directly within the ranks of the literary profession have had a share in the annual twelve hundred, and, although their claims to recognition may have been equally pressing, they should cer tainly have been provided for out of some other fund than that specially set aside for the benefit of men of letters. Owing partly to the inadequacy of the State provision, and partly to the vicissitudes of an exhausting and fluctuating profession, the Literary Fand has been only too much needed to supplement the aid afforded by Government. There is, however, a very important branch of the literary profession, whose ranks are so wide and deep that they include many not strictly coming under the title of men of letters. Yet their labours are often more arduous, always more incessant. Their public services are universally appreciated, and their means of subsistence frequently entrely dependent on the possession of sound health and unflagging energies. To meet the necessities of this numerous body the Newspaper Press Fund, already in exist ence, has been re-organised, and its inaugural dinner was celebrated en Saturday evening, under the presidency of an accomplished and consistent friend of the Press—Lord HOUGIIToN. It was a grati fying assembly, and its results promised well for the future of the Fund, the list of subscriptions and donations amounting to X 1,500. Kindly wishes, too, pour in from all sides. The magnates of the land rivalled the self-made men who tendered the ex pression of their hearty goodwill and sympathy. Men of war and peace, statesmen and lawyers, politicians and men of business, and above all literary men and artists were ready with the word of good speed and the helpieg hand. Whig and Tory, Liberal and Conservative, united in support of an institution whose members belong to ne one sect or party, but whose influence has done so much towards breaking down the old barriers of party feeling and religious intolerance. The un dertaking is not to be altogether of an eleemo synary cheracter, since it is to include subscrips tions from members as well as those donations, bequests, and contributions which form the regu lar income of a charitable association. The society lost nothing in the hands of its President, whose able advocacy set forward its claims in the strongest and most impressive manner. He re. minded .his hearers that this institution owed its origin to the efforts of some benevolent men many years ago, who thought that the establishment of a mutual assurance society of gentlemen connected with the press would be a valuable achievement. " It was thought," in the words of Lord IfouGH TON, " that the press of this country. was an in stitution large enough, and various enough, and therefore from its breadth and its variety, fortunate and unfortunate enough to authorise you to bind together your sheaves in your good fortune, so that you might glean something in your bad." He reminded his hearers likewise of a truth that might well be painfully present to some of them—that their profession was one peculiarly demanding a prudent provision for the future, depending as is did on the unfailing exercise of hardly-tasked powers. We can oely echo his good wishes for . the prosperous developua:.n: of the reorganised institu tion, and trust that in its new form it will avoid all the mistakes and accidents, which chequered its earlier course, so that it may become one of the recognised and stable charitable societies of out country, of an extent, a wealth and an efficacy com mensurate with the:prominent position at present held by the Fourth Estate. It was, of course, im possible at a meeting so largely attended by the votaries of St. Stephen's to avoid reference to that particular department of the press which is con nected with the Houses of Parliament. It is not so long since the great constitutional victory of public reports of the debates was fought and won that the present generation should altogether forget the struggle or what it owes to the men who carried it. Sir ERSKINE PERRY, in proposing the toast of the two Houses, remarked that a relative of his own, when first be went professionally to report in the House of Lords, was forced to take his notes secretly in his hat, and that some one having observed the fact even those notes were useless, although the debate was one of great importance. We ma 3 fancy the disappointment and mortification of the young dautant at so ignoble a conclusion to his labours! Lord HOUGHTON, in speaking of the interest with which, during his long career in the Lower House, lie ',had watched the Reporters' Gallery, observed that he sometimes felt like the old Spanish monk, who believed the only realitiee around him to be the pictures on the wall, for that as brave youth and hoary age alike passed away from the scene, he was often inclined to think that the gallery was the most permanent institution, and the busy occupants of the benches below them were but the flitting shadows. Mr. DENMAN, in a humorous address, foretold a prosperous career for the young society, and Mr. NEWDEGATE, who readily acknowledged the obligations of parlia mentary representatives to the press, which set their words and actions fairly befcra their consti tuents, both joined in hopes and congratulations. So that altogether this inauguration took place ander happy auspices, attended, as was fitting, by many kindred spirits, presided over by an old well wisher and literary man, and giving from the amount of the sums it has already collected every reasonable ground for cheerful anticipations of a useful and prosperous career. We trust that a prudent and careful management will husband its resources aed administer its affairs in a liberal and yet Provident manner, and that those who have so kindly and promptly come forward with their assistance at the outset may watch over its interests in tha same spirit, until it has grown and increased enough to take its place among well endowed and widely established institutions.

We take the following summary from the Bombay Gazette of April 28 : "It is reported in telegrams received at Madras from Calcutta that the Hoe. Ashley Eden has re turned to Darjeeling from his mission to Bhootan, where he was grossly insulted in public Durbar by the Chief, and dismissed with great indignity, after having been compelled to sign a treaty making over to them the whole of Assam, including the tea estates held by Europeans, which are to be taken over it a valuation. " His Excellency the Viceroy left Calcutta on the evening of the 15th inst., and expEcts to reach Simla on the 30th ideal.

" Tne State prisoners of the Royal house of Delhi, now languishing in confinement at Rangoon, having, on the death of the em-King, applied for leave to return to Delhi or some part of the North-Western Provinces, Sir Charles iVood has refused to meddle with what has been ruled respecting this family in India, and has:turned a deaf ear to their application. 6, Colonel Eden, the Political Agent at Oodeypoor. in Central India, was mobbed by some 300 or 400 persons on the 31st March last, who rushed into the Residency, shouting andviolently gesticulating and throwing stones. Colonel Eden has rendered him self unpopular with certain evil disposed persons who feel aggrieved at his cutting in force th e law igainst certain crimes, more especially his prohibi tion of the custom of Meriah (human) sacrific es. It has been decided to open the Bombay , Barna, and Central India line of railway from Bombay thrcugh to Ahmedabad on the Ist of June next for passenger traffic, and immediately after the mon soon for goods traffic.

To the Editor of the Sun, SlR,—Your article of Thursday on the Customs Estab ishwents calls forth a few observations from me. . . The greatest portion of the revenue of the country is collected by this department of the civil service. In that collection a certain amount of responsib lity necessarily rests with,and trustworthiness is requisite in, the employes. For this they receive an average salary of £2OJ per annum after 20 years service. Such being the case, I ask whether an over eager parsimoniousness is not displayed by the au thorities most destructive to a true economy ? For a care less and slovenly I.erformance of duties is the probable result of ill-paid services, and what can be more depressing, or likely to produce indifference in The discharge of his duties, than for any man to find that the remuneration he receives is totally inadequate to his reasonable requi•ements —and what can be more detrimental to the public service than that a large number of those employed in it should be continually struggling against pecuniary embarrassments, commencing almost from the time they enter upon it. In the beginning of April were published the Civil Ser vice Estimates, and never was a more striking anomaly exhibited than met my eye in comparing the two offices of the Inland Revenue and the Customs. The revenue collected by the Customs for the year 1863 amounted to about 21 millions, and the expense of the establishment to £771,000. That collected by the Inland Revenue to about 18 millions, and its attendant expenses amounted to £1,213,000. This difference in the expense of the two establishments ari,es from the superior scale of payment awarded to the clerks in the Custom House ; and that such a difference should exist in two departments, the duties in which are precisely similar, and the examinations previous to appoint ment the same, is most incomprehensible. The clerks in the Inland Revenue-office are not consi dered too highly paid, and it seems to me to be only just that their brethren in the Custom-house should receive similar remuneration for similar duties. At any rate, that a notoriously hardworking and meritorious body of men should receive such salaries as may enable them to main tain themselves and their families—a thing which their petition to Parliament shows is beyond the power of the greater portion of them.—l am, &e., London, May 21, IS6I. SCRITTATOR. The Late Fraud on the Banks. The public will remember that in August last a warrant was issued for the apprehension of a Hungarian, named Sigismund Dietrichstein, upon a charge of having by fraud and conspiracy obtained the sum of £lO,OOO in Bank of England notes, with which he absconded, and at the same time a large reward was offered for his apprehension. The warrant was obtained at the instance of Mr. Muliens, the solicitor to the Bankers' Association ; on behalf of two of the City banks, from whom the money had boen obtained, and the circumstances of the case were somewhat peculiar. It appeared that Dietrichstein had carried on business in Old Broad street as a merchant, and was considered a person of responsibility arsd credit, and he kept an account with two bankers, one at the West-end of the town and the other in the City, and presented all the outward appearances of wealth and respectability, There was no doubt, however, from what subs , quently occurred, that these appearances were entirely fallacious, and that Dietrichstein, in conjunction with one or two others, had concocted a deep-leil scheme of fraud, which was carried out in a most ingenious manner. He had been in the habit of speculating on the Stock Elchange, and in the month of August It Pppeared that he purchased for the account a large %;nantity of foreign bonds. The account day was Satuide . ; . , and on that day he received the bonds, and gave cheques upon his bankers for the amount. As these cheques were crossed and Sunday intervened, two days elapsed before the fraud could be discovered, but it turned out that Dictrichstein had with drawn the whole of his money from the bankers except a very small sum ; but when this fact was discovered it was found that he and his wife and child had left England. It should be stated that the moment he obtained possession of the bonds he placed them in the hands of two of the City bankers as security for an advance of £lO,OOO, which amount he received in Bank of England notes, and took with him when he departed. Upon these facts be coming known an application was made to the Lord Mayor upon the subject, but it seems that at first there was come doubt as to the character of the offence that had been committed, the circumstances of l i the alleged crime being somewhat novel; but in the result a warrant was granted for the apprehension, of Dietrichstein upon the charge of fraud and conspi racy. This warrant was placed in the hands of Moss, one of the City detectives, fur execution, anti ht started off, accompanied by Mr. Pollaky, in pursuit of the fugitive. After a long chase the officer suc ceeded in arresting him at Pestb, in Hungary, and in his possession there was found a considerable portion of the money with which he had absconded, and a good many of the notes also appeared to have been changed by his wife. Dietrichstein was then conveyed to Vienna, and an application was made to the Austrian government for his ex tradition, but Cunt Rechberg, the Austrian minister, refused to deliver him up on the ground that he was not charged with felony, which offence alone was the subject of the ex tradition treaty, but merely with fraud, and Mr. Mullens, who had himself gone to Vienna for the purpose of endeavoaring to procure the delivering up of the prisoner, was obliged to return to Eng land, leaving him in the custody of the Austrian It appears that the matter has since been brought to a conclusion by the whole of the money that was obtained by Dietrichstein having been repaid. As above stated, a considerable sum was in his posses sion when he was apprehended, and the whole of the remainder has since been given up. The bonds that were obtained will consequently be restored, and no further proceedings will be taken with re ference to the charge. Great Conflagration at Victoria Docks. Yesterday (Sunday) morning, at a few minutes before one o'clock, an electric telegraph message was received at the c arious stetions of the Fire Brigade that a serious conflagration was raging on the Hudson-wharf, Victoria Ducks. This property, US is well known, occupied a large superfices, whereon were erected sundry factories belonging to Messrs Odam and Co., the representatives of the Patent Blood Manure Company. The first discovery of the fire was made by a police constable of the K division, who in passing along bis beat perceived smoke in groat volumes issuing from the factory nearest the eastern end. Thts part of the factory was 200 feet long and 116 broad. It was termed the vitriol department, and contained no less, it is stated by the manager, than 3,000 tuns of oil of vitriol. The engines quickly arrived, but in spite of every exertion the flames were not qacnched until the lapse of nearly nine hours. The. damage is very extensive. The boots and uniforms of the firemen and the hose of the engines sufLred some injury from the vitriol that ran out of the building. As soon as the lire was got under a searching in quiry was made by the brigade authorities to ascer tain the cause of the disaster, the result of whic h clearly showed that the over heat of an iron flue i had occasioned the mischief. Captain Shavv, n his official report to the insurance eimpanies forming the London Brigade, describes the damage uone as follows :—" The vitrio: department of two floors high, 200 feet long, and 116 feet broad, belonging to Messrs, Odatn and Co., the representatives of the Patent Blood Manure Company at Viconia Docks, burnt out, and roof off; building! and contents cora- kf I egrun.Ltneive . n an ko ft Ira ti rtA watihr.) THE ROYAL LYCEUM THEATRE, Mr, Fechter as Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, The long expected and eagerly looked for revival of Mr. Fechter's Hamlet " came off" at last, like one of the Great Events of the Season as it is, on Saturday evening. In many respects this, the indisputable masterpiece of Shakspere's all•iecotn parable genius, has never been more magnificently put upon the stage than it has now at last been put upon the stage of the Lyceum Theatre under Mr. Fechter's management. A.n immense and brilliant audience crowded stalls, pit, boxes, and gallery, from the floor of the house to within an inch or two of the ceiling, on Saturday, in visible evidence of the curiosity awakened in regard to this grand revival. One or two of the scenic effects—it should be observed at once—scenic cacts from which so much had bzen anticipated—fully realised our expectations. In one of them, the extraordinary character of which had been whispered about beforehand (evidently erroneously), we were doomed, it is true, to be disappointed. The rumour is regard to this purely supposititicui stage Effect, having been, that upon the castle platform where Hamlet is seen following in the path taken by the Ghost, the latter would have passed over the snowy battlements without leaving any trace whatever of its footprints, the footprints of the Prince in pursuit of the ghastly apparition being at the same time clearly discernible. Nothing of this, however, was witnessed, of course, on Saturday, any more than the once-talked-of application of the famousDircks and-Pepper optical contrivance, with a view to the more vivid realisation of the spectral illusion in the ghost-scenes of the great Tragedy. Applications of eccentric contrivances of this exceptional and even extraordinary - character might, however, not unjustly have been reprobated by the truer Shaksperian students as partaking overmuch of a tendency to mere clap-trap, It is probably judi cious, therefore, that nothing of the kind was even attempted. In the more legitimate care for the miss en-scene, however, at the Lyceum, everything that could reasonably be desired has been cared for with a hand lavish sometimes to an excess of absolute munificence. The scenery by Te!bin, always Effective, was in several instances almost magically illusive. The platform scenes in the first act, and the graveyard scene in the last were worthy of the admiration with which they were welcomed. But the grandest display of all was in the heart of the tragedy, in the third act, that is, where the play within the play is performed in the grand Hall of the Palace before the majesty of Denmark. It was altogether a sumptuous revelation of barbaric pomp, and would have tended even of itself to have ren dered remarkable to an extraordinary degree this revival of " Hamlet," at the Lyceum under Mr. Fechter's management. Here, however, it should be remarked at once that the new pictorial decorations, the scenery, the picturesque and often gorgeous costumes, the splendid up holstery work, and all the rest of it—were wholly and absolutely subordinated to the care evidently devoted throughout to the acting by Mr. Fechter and his company. The impersonations, apart from the gifted actor-manager, himself, were many of them, in a high degree worthy of admira tion. Miss Kate Terry's Ophelia was an exquisitely pathetic and tender realisation of that lovely imagining of Shakspere's. Miss Elswortby's Queen Gertrude, again, was, all through the play signally meritorious. The Polonius of Mr. Brougham Lacked that unctuous senility which was noticeable of late years in Mr. Meadows—and which in the his tory of the modern stage is understood to have had its most felicitous pourtrayal years ago by that true Shaksperian actor the late Mr. Blanchard. The King Claudius of Mr. Emery was one of the most successful delineations of a stage monarch that we have for a long while witnessed. As a piece of serious acting it was as excellent in its way as poor Bland's Burlesque Sovereigns used to be as speci mens of grotesque impersonation. Mr. Shore looked lior-etio, and that was all : while the Ghost of H a mlet's father, as represented by Mr. .Tordan, had by too robustuous a voice for a mere unsub stantial api :arition. As to the part, the part of parts in the whole Treg7dY' the Tragic hero among all Tragic heroes, Hamlet : . he Dane, as impersonated by Mr. Fechter—what pi, -goer in London does not already know if, and know it Hamlet . perfectly P Hamlet the blonde gotoetd. in funereal black, but without a touch of the tering bugles on his picturesque attire. Pechter,. Hamlet it, a word ! That strange, new, thoroughly unconventional Hamlet that startled the world of London playgoers either into admiration or into indignation, accordingly as the beholders happened to be infatuated or not in regard to the old tradi tional version of the Danish Prince—in his personal attributes, in his very dress, in his various readings, in effect, in the whole spirit and in the whole sub stance of that great tragic character. At the period of Mr. Fechter's original appearance as Hamlet at the Princess's, we carefully analyzed the intellec tual peculiarities more especially noticeable in so many of his astounding innovations. Upon the whole our estimate then of what appeared to be its eminent charms, even among them its pre-eminent beauties, has now been confirmed upon the revival of the great tragedy at the Lyceum on Saturday last, under the distinguished Actor's own management. Whether or not it can be traceable to the hiatus that has occurred in the representation of Hams let by Mr. Fechter—by reason of the popularity last season of "The Duke's Motto" and this season, until now, of the kindred melodrama of " Bel Demonio''—certain it is that, some among the most exquisite of the new points in Mr. Fechter's reading of Hamlet were, according to our notion, either forgotten or strangely slurred over on Satur day. Where Polonius, for example, asks him, in the first act, whether he will not come in out of the air—his sudden exclamation, with an indescribable pathos in the very tone of his voice, "Into my grave ?—passed on Saturday almost unnoticed, almost unthought or. His innovative readings, again, still strangely jar at times upon cur long accustomed sense of the meaning of the words of Shakspere. As, for examp!e, where the Ghost is re lating to him his being barbarously murdered in the orchard,when Hamlet, listening,laorror stricken, to the narrative, and suddenly recognizing the identity of the assassin through the Ghost's generalised description of him, Mr. Fechter sighs forth, as in an agonised sigh " 0 my prophetic soul !" and then, interrogatively asks suddenly of the Ghost, with a stress upon the pronoun—"My Uncle ?" It is in the love scenes with Ophelia, how ever, that Mr. Fechter, to our thinking, altogether defies competition. The exquisitely pathetic ten• derness of his acting, of his inimitable bye-play, of the wonderful fluctuation of contending emotions over his eminently expressive, and also eminently handsome, face, the tearful music of his intonations throughout those charming love scenes with Ophelia—but especially towards the close of that one in which he bids her again and yet again, in an incoherent phrcuzy of con tending passions (some assumed, some real) " Got thee to a Nunnery !"--roused the Lyceum audience on Saturday, as the audiences at the Princess's used to be aroused, we need not say for how many hundred nights, to a pitch of enthusiasm as loud and prolonged in it:3 expression, es it was in itself absolutely unaffected. The popular trage dian, it ehould be said, immediately on his first appearance, was welcomed with a long-continued, and again and yet again reiterated thunder of ap plause, and afterwards during the evening, was summoned before the audience anew at the end of every act (save one), to receive a repetition of the same cordial acclamations. The single exception referred to above in parenthesis being attributable solely to the admiration which had been immediately before then excited among the audience by the last scene of Ophelie., in that stranga eventful tragedy, where she comes on (lend into madness by her grids, warbling snatches of song, and distributing {Levers among the royal bystanders—a scene in which Mies K ite Terry made a gee eine hit, win zaftig on her exit a stormy oatbu'st of plaudits. if all the other acts, Mr. FE char had At the close o. to appear anew before the footlights (and no won der!) to receive from his audience renewed expreg sion of their admiration. It was a greeting justly due te him on Saturday last at once as an acter and s a manager, as a manager of extraosdinary enter. prise, and as an actor of very rare gifts and cf unquestionable genius. _ i:-/_:-,::.:4p,.7.1,., f.:-,fe.,„4,...1,,,,,,,,4,„*„,,,„„ .„--,- , -,- - , -, 1: , .,17.-- , .., ' - L ar.ifyi r 11 t HER MAJESTY, BALMOEAL, May 19.

Sir Charles Phipps. The Thellusson Bank, Of the six millionnaire bankers of the last cen tury, the last-named, Mr. Peter Thellusson, rose into fame in a very singular manner. Mr. Thellusson was born at Paris, in 1735, the son of Mons. Isaac rhellusson, a native of Geneva, who was established as banker in a good way of business, which he ex tended considerably by the assistance of a clerk, afterwards famous in history as M. Necker, the Minister of Finance during the French Revolutioe. Mons. Isaac Thellusson, appreciating the value of xis clerk, admitted him after a time into partner ship, so that the firm thenceforth became Thellusson and Necker. When Peter Thellusson had grown up into manhood, he was likewise admitted as mem ber of the Paris firm ; but the that throes of the revolution which were felt ever after made him, resnaess at his desk, end he resolved on emigrating: to London and eetablisbing an English branch bank in connection with the house of Thellusson and Necker. A man of great sagacity and extraordinary perseverance, coupled with a desire for making money which amcunted to an all-absorbing paesiont Mr. Peter Thellusson found success at his door, and in a few years built up one of the first banking establishments in the British metropolis. But, however great his wealth, he still yearned for more; and pondering day and night over this one great object of hia life, he at last hit upon an extraordi nary expedient for multiplying the fortune amas-ed be . him to an unheard of extent. In April, 1796, he pm, his name to a last will and testament which made the itollee of Thellusson for ever memorable. Under this several legacies wero left by Mr Peter Thellusson to his wife, his three sons and three daughters, amounting together to about £IOO,OOO, and the rest of his fortune, valued at. above £600,000, was made over to trustees, to accumulate and to be laid out by them in the pur chase of estates in England, until such tine as all his children, and the male children of his sons and grandsons should die, after which the whole p-o --perry was directed to go to the nearest lineal male descendants bearing the name of Thellussorre Among these descendants, the property was their to be distributed in the following manner :—Tne immense estate—grown up into gigantiodimeneions by the action of interest and compound interest-- was to be divided into three equal shares: the first to go to the male descendants of the testator's eldest son, another to the second son's male descendants, and the remaining to the male heirs of the third- In case of failure of male descendants of any one of the three his share was to go to the other two; and if there was a failure of two, then the whole three lots was to be consolidated into one vast propertYe constituting by far the largest territorial fortune ever known in Europe, or indeed in the world. Finally, in the event that there should. remain no lineal male descendants, the testator di ' reeted that the whole estate should be sold, and the proceeds applied to pay off the national debt. This was the grandest of all the grand schemes of !are Peter Thellusson--to pay off the public debt off Great Britain! The very idea is bewildering to , the ordinary mind. Peter Thellusson's calculations seemed beautifully correct; and evidently not the shadow of a doubt existed in his mind that by the simple accumula tion through three or four generations his wealth would swell into dimensions compared with which the fortunes of Kings and Emperors would be mere beggarly trifles. Unfortunately, the tes tator had left one item out of calculation—the tact of the existence of a British institution called. the Court of Chancery, at the shrine of which there worship a host of long-winded gentlemen, all anxious to participate in the pleasing action of in terest and compound interest. In July, 1797, Mr. Peter Thellusson shut his eyes, directed, no doubt , • eagerly towards the future and the countless wealth accumulating for other Theliuseons after generations to come ; but after lietle more than a year, in the month of December, 1798, two bills were alreedi filed in the Court of Chancery against the the one by the widow and her sons and three daughters and the husbands of the two then Liar ried, and the other by the acting trustees or the bulk of the property. The validity of the will : was established by the Lord Chancellor and judges of the Court of Cnancery ; nevertheless, the gentleme n of the long robe were not all inclined to give up the it valuable priz‘3. For years and years to come, bill 6, spplinf,ions, and injunctions in re Theilusson k, pt cropping up in the law courts, and legal miners kept digging inn) the wonderful estate with as hearty energy as any miners in the Australian gold fields. Poor Mrs. Tnellueson got sick over it , e c t‘ .. died of a broken heart—or a broken purse--r-L January, 1805, seven years after her ealcuietieg husband. All the three SUDS of Peter Thel lusson had seats in the House of Commons, and the eldest, Peter Isaac Thellusson, obtained an Ir ish peerage, and chleg , d into Baron Rendlesbe tv ; For all this the family not did greatly pravf:t_ie in the world, and having once got into the mealier of the hononratle Court of Chancery, never c ame c o f u t theoithem ge ntle a rr g i a e i n n' ef ro be , the eight,' or UuEr t t il l elon th g e a ssiduous working
